Staye home from work today to listen to the LHC-centered Torchwood radio drama "Lost Souls", and it was so worth it! So many utterly quotable bits! (Will be making at least 2 text icons tonight based off it XD) Anyway, while and I were both listening to it from our respective states, conversation turned to the
Sons of Don AU - the storyline we've worked on where Ianto, Rhys, and PC Andy break off to form their own alien-hunting business apart from Torchwood, and the type of cases they would mostly handle. Hace a chat transcript!
| | Amarantha | | | Ah, creatures of the void |
| | Amarantha | | They're so... predictably sadistic. |
| | Amarantha | | *loves the simultaneous screaming* |
| | Ed-san | | never any that just want a hot cup of tea and to get home to their mums? |
| | Amarantha | | nope |
| | Amarantha | | Just 'feed feed feed dark dark dark hungry blah stupid humans so easy' |
| | Amarantha | | Never 'oh my god a cup of tea' |
| | Ed-san | | or even a pint |
| | Amarantha | | yup |
| | Amarantha | | And Ianto making a poetry |
| | Amarantha | | Tennyson, of all people |
| | Ed-san | | what do want to bet the Sons of Don mostly get the aliens who are just lost and confused and wanting a beer before they get home? |
| | Amarantha | | totally |
| | Amarantha | | And they sit them down in a bar/coffee shop, and chat with them, and commiserate, and then send 'em home |
| | Ed-san | | they really do the Torchwood equivalent of what Andy does as a cop anyway, don't they? |
| | Amarantha | | Yup |
| | Amarantha | | Despite their grandiose name and spandex. |
| | Ed-san | | Bar fights, looking impressively official, being sweet to little old (alien) ladies |
| | Amarantha | | yup |
| | Amarantha | | They get a lot of blowfish |
| | Ed-san | | yup |
| | Ed-san | | lots of alien teenagers buzzing the planet for kicks |
| | Amarantha | | Who they chide, and send home with the next responsible alien in the atmosphere |
| | Ed-san | | *grins* |
| | Ed-san | | If the regular cops need people to do that sort of thing, why shouldn't Torchwood? |
| | Amarantha | | yup |
| | Ed-san | | which begs the question of there being a Torchwood alien watch |
| | Amarantha | | Only they lie through their teeth and say they have more grand adventures and more anti-apocalypse maneuvers than Torchwood itself does. |
| | Ed-san | | nosy suburbian housewives keeping an eye out for alien activity |
| | Ed-san | | and yes, of course |
| | Ed-san | | they talk it up hugely |
| | Ed-san | | at the monthly dinners |
| | Amarantha | | yup |
| | Amarantha | | And I love the idea of a - what's it called |
| | Amarantha | | ? |
| | Ed-san | | Rhys instituted group cook-out night |
| | Amarantha | | Where they - ah, Community Watch |
| | Ed-san | | yes |
| | Amarantha | | With the eye on the sign |
| | Amarantha | | Only they have a big T |
| | Amarantha | | Because TW? Subtle it is not. |
| | Ed-san | | *dies* |
| | Ed-san | | not remotely |
| | Ed-san | | as evidenced by Jack's fondness for eplaining their eternal mission to random particle physicists |
| | Amarantha | | yup |
| | Amarantha | | Because they definitely need to know about this /and will believe it/ |
| | Amarantha | | That's the funny thing |
| | Amarantha | | For some reason, Jack is convincing |
| | Ed-san | | maybe his chin has secret hypnotic powers |
| | Amarantha | | *dies* |
| | Amarantha | | Yup |
| | Amarantha | | He says 'it's the jawline - once seen, never forgotten' but what he really means is that he uses it as a focal point for his sooper sekrit powers of psikik awesomeness |
